Description:
This practical book explains to the industry manager all the special aspects
related to the preparation of the scientific dossier for health claims of
European functional foods (science, legislation, communication, product
development).
Expert guidance in this complex area has been long urgently needed and can now be provided in this independent industrial guide. The authors are key senior managers who served the 2 most important European multinationals (Unilever and Nestle) and who have sustained experience in functional foods. They share more than 20 years of industrial experience in a very clear language and in a stepwise manner, to help technical, commercial, legal and communication managers alike and from all types of food companies.
This guide explains the underlying procedures and will help you prepare a dossier to withstand external scrutiny from evaluators, competitors, consumer and professional organisations. It covers: science (how to use available scientific data and fill gaps for efficacy and safety aspects; the relative value between in-vitro, in-vivo, epidemiological and intervention [sometimes: clinical] studies; prepare for post-launch activities), legislation (Codes of Conduct, the upcoming health claim law, novel foods), communication (matching wording of the health claim to science), special aspects of functional foods product and business development. The reader will also benefit from the many practical tips, recommendations and Q&As.
Altogether this book will certainly contribute to the results of the company, not only in improved project quality, but also in resource savings, reducing costly R&D mistakes, improving internal communication as well as finding new leads and developing them successfully. This guide is an indispensable aid in preparing for the coming EU legislation on health claims, because these principles of scientific underpinning are universal. A valuable investment for the company!
